Historical Note
The National FFA Organization is an American youth organization, specifically a career and technical student organization to promote agricultural education for boys. It was founded in 1925 at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, by agriculture teachers, Henry C. Groseclose, Walter Newman, Edmund Magill and Harry Sanders as Future Farmers of Virginia. The FFV served as the model for the Future Farmers of America by 1928. In 1927, G.W. Owens, teacher-trainer at Virginia State College, and Dr. H.O. Sargent, federal agent for agricultural education for African-Americans, U.S. Office of Education, wrote the first constitution and bylaws of the New Farmers of Virginia, an organization for African-American agriculture students. It was not until 1969 that the FFA opened membership to girls, making it possible for them to hold office and participate in competitive events at regional and national levels.
